In this webinar, you'll learn about the CIGD process, along with when it's an appropriate and safe response to an event. CTRI Clinical Director Joddie Walker will share about her experiences debriefing critical events in a variety of settings, including her work with frontline staff during the pandemic, and facilitating CIGD following a terrorist incident.
